Some of the most interesting and free-spirited people I have known are those who weren't exposed to the internet from an early age (even just folks who didn't start using it until they were 16 or 17).

Starting this late, they never reached the level of proficiency required to close the hedonistic feedback loop and learn how to saturate their minds with awful internet memes (and harmonise with the hivemind's sense of humour). They also never adopted the socially calculating mindset that you see in the kind of person who grew up on MySpace and Facebook.
